Dear morphometricians, I apologise for interrupting you. I will be graduating this year (Faculty of Medicine) and I am looking for a PhD fellowship. During the last 3 years I have worked within the Anatomy Department and performed several studies: shape variation of atlas vertebra and talus,

Microscribe Question

I have a question for the group. I am going to be microscribing some rather fragile fossils and the curator of one of the collections has asked that I use a plastic tip for my microscribe, as opposed to the metal tips. However, I have been unable to find a place to purchase a plastic tip. Has

Dear colleagues For some time I've been working on a morphometrics software package (working title MorphoJ) that's intended to provide a relatively user-friendly interface for the sort of analyses going on in my lab. Once it will do some useful things and once it has been tested, I will

Hi, Chris-- Your software package sounds very useful. I would be most interested to get information about it when it is released. Has anyone in the community thought about this? Or are there even existing specifications of a file format of this type? And are others interested in this sort of

Dear Tuomas, you can do plenty of resampling statistics with the last version of NTSYSpc (version 2.2). NTSYSpc does also geometric morphometrics and a very wide variety of analyses of quantitative characters. You can also easily write a batch file with commands to do everything in a single run.

lateral line

Hello all does anyone know whether GM or other morfometrics have been applied to the quantification of shape differences in the lateral line of fish? For non-fish-savy folk, the lateral line is row of scales that form a visible line from the gills to the tail fin, and plays a pressure-sensory

Dear morphmeters, I am new in the field of morphometrics and just discovering all it's possibilities. I used ImageJ to record some landmarks on a butterfly-wing, and saved them as excel files. Is it possible to get the coordinates into one of the 'tps' programs to do a superimposition? I think

Dear morphometricians, could you please suggest me any reference on studies which test the effect of sample size on results of analyses of a) geometric morphometric data or b) traditional morphometric measurements? Thanks a lot, in advance, for your help. Cheers Andrea Dr. Andrea Cardini Hull
